So, anyone go to Old Yarnham and see if it helps the framerate when you first enter and are by those fire pyres? Also, any known release date for general public on the upgrade?

Funny you say that, I only game on a high end PC and now with this boost feature I might finally buy a PS4 Pro.

No it doesn't. They haven't put out a pro patch, but said it will be there at launch.

Some of us have both. I guess you don't?
It actually does, but it doesn't do anything. At least that's my understanding.
Single player with unlocked framerate ranged from 30-50FPS so it could be a good boost. The MP as well ran at like 40-60FPS.
I'd expect that game to perform better.

It was a pretty solid 30...but I guess it depends on what you mean by "smooth as butter"
Lol oh really? I didn't know that, I just assumed the patch came. That's hilarious.
Yeah didn't notice a diference but I'm uploading a video right now.
This is awesome news, took me by surprise that's for sure! Had my beta email too so can't wait to try it out.
Being a big Battlefield 4 player I'm hoping frame rate holds up abit better when things get hectic
I'm seriously going to have to work through some of my backlog now just to see if there's much difference!

BF4 already has a Pro patch...

So its sounding like this is a pretty decent little performance boost in most games, but has anybody run into any oddities/crashes/glitches while running in boost mode?

Yes. It's pretty hard to miss the swamp lol.
Some indie games that I would love to see tested:
Broforce
Hand of Fate
Zigguraut
BF4 definitely doesn't have a Pro patch, BF1 does.

Okey, I notivce no framedrops what so ever
Can you please upload a clip to youtube? even if a short one.
I know before, EU accounts received the update before us but I just want to know If I can throw a temper tantrum yet. I was able to log into the 4.5 thread.
I think you are thinking of BF1.
Forgive me, was thinking of BF1 haha

I wonder if games with a "pro patch" could still see minor improvements if all they do is a "HUD upscale"? Like, if the devs are lazy enough not to actually use the extra power and just upscaled some UI shit so they could say, pro patch!!!!!, and now forcing beast mode might do some extra work?
Unlikely, but if this is using reserved power some devs didn't bother fully utilizing in their pro patches it may help.

you're probably eating on the hype way too much. i don't think the upgrades are gonna be more that few frames...
don't they usually release a 0.5 firmware around e3?

Someone please try out Rocket League. That is one I'm super interested in because the FPS drops are very noticeable on different maps.
this is amazing!

Ok, I've read about people here who were not able to login to the 4.5 beta community portal yet they received the beta email from Sony. I hope I'm one of those! I have U.S. account (NYC), so hope I get that email before I leave the office at 5 so I can test out all my old games starting with Until Dawn!

This is what I thought as well. Pretty sure there was a patch that drastically improve the stability of the frame rate in the swamp.

Amazing update if Boost mode helps out a lot in previous games, which so far seems to be it does.
Haha, and I thought GameXplain was bad for milking content. This is DF's wet dream.

Hummmmm it is a SDD not SSHD... SSHD use this cache data in the SSD part... SSD the full disc is the same read/write.
Others games are saying loading time boost in Beast Mode... I think it is due having more CPU to make the transfer from HDD to memory.
The first title thay they'll test will be Project Cars, i can bet one of my ball on that XD
OK beast mode is fantastic. Have tested
Until dawn - much better performance
Bloodborne - better still frame pacing issues though
Just cause - a revelation a different game.
Mad max - better performance
YAKUZA 0 - better when roaming city
Games seems smoother overall. perhaps where would of seen 1-2 frames dropped . (tried destiny)
Side note: vr 3d is fantastic.

Great feature, glad they have decided to allow this, after first saying they wouldn't.
I don't think I've ever seen people this excited about Pro before, Sony should have done this from the start because Pro interest seems to have sky rocketed now lol
Let's hope they can get more into shops so anyone that now wants one, can actually buy one.
